You should have never eaten those tacos and burritos last night, along with those one or two glasses of wine or swigs of beer. Now, your stomach and throat is paying the price, and you are in pain and feel like your upper torso is on fire.
What exactly IS heartburn? The medical term is gastro-esophageal reflux, or in more common terms, acid reflux. It occurs when the valve at the bottom of the esophageal tube that leads to the stomach weakens. This causes the acid to back up or "reflux" (where the more common term comes from) and flow backwards from the stomach back into the esophagus. This causes the actual symptom of heartburn. The stomach has the necessary acids to break down your ingested foods, not your esophagus.
What symptoms arise from gastro-esophageal reflux. You may experience one or more of the following...
- Burning / sore throat
- Persistent cough
- Difficulty swallowing
- Stomach pain
- Bloating / belching
- Nausea / queasiness
What do you do if you experience heartburn? Probably what millions of other Americans do: take an antacid pill.
Bad idea. Antacids interfere with your natural digestive process that takes place in your whole digestive tract: you stomach, your small intestine, etc. Heartburn results when you do NOT have enough stomach acid to break down the ingested ingredients and to absorb the nutrients from those ingredients. So what happens? The ingested acid irritates the lining of your stomach and flows back into your esophagus to cause the heartburn symptoms.
So, the next heartburn attack you experience, do not reach for the TUMS. All that will do is reduce the amount of hydrochloric acid present in your digestive system. You want to increase the hydrochloric acid, and at the same time, naturally soothe the insides of your tract.
